Music to me has always been a mysterious thing. It makes its way out of me at some of the most unexpected times. This I don't think sets me apart from other songwriters or musicians, but it simply allows me to sit in reflection of the work I've been able to finish thus far, with thankfulness. Each song more or less, a labor of love.
I am from Louisville Kentucky, where soul meets rock and folk. Please contact me if you'd like me to play at your venue... I would be honored.
The artistry of Brooks Ritter is a seamless garment. An indivisible blend of voice, musicianship and songwriting that is capable of communicating the wide range of human emotion and illuminating our hopeful, fallen, love-sick, grasping condition. His lyrics are insightful and honest, his music displays the rare kind of versatility that makes you think and makes you move, and his voice is an instrument capable of subtle nuance and supple power that glides effortlessly through the realms of rock, folk and soul.
"... Brooks Ritter offers one of the most intense and purposeful vocal performances I've heard in a long time."
-- Subvergent.com
"Brooks Ritter sounds like someone on the verge of mega-stardom, yet humbly decides to offer sincere melodies ... instead of indie-rock swagger."
-- The Black and White.
